Child Support Guidelines
Information About Child Support Guidelines in Our State
In the state of New York, child support is traditionally paid by the non-custodial parent (that parent that does not have primary
physical custody of the child). This support is intended to be used for the support, maintenance, and education of the child. Expenses that fall outside of these parameters, including clothes, vacations, voluntary gifts, or transportation, are not covered by child support. The receiving parent can collect support payments until the child is 21 years of age, or is earlier emancipated. Further child support guidelines, which are outlined in the New York Child Support Standards Act, contain tables that consider the gross income of both parents, as well as appropriate deductions, in order to calculate an accurate support payment to be given to the parent with primary
custody.
